There
are classes, coaches, and how-to books aplenty out there, filled with
prescriptions on building a writing life. But what if the advice never
seems like quite the right fit? We'll talk about the challenges and
pleasures of going off-script, leaving behind rule books, and making
your own way toward a creative life.

Speaker: Diana Abu-Jaber is the award-winning author of four novels, including Crescent, and a previous memoir,The Language of Baklava.Her new book, Life Without a Recipe: A Memoir is
a big-hearted story about finding your own way when everyone else has
their own prescriptions, their own "recipes," for what your life should
be like. She and her family divide time between Miami, FL and Portland,
Oregon.
